Can you imagine Lawro & Hoddle together? Throw in a Neville brother and we would all fall asleep.
It was more irritation towards Danny Murphy’s biased commentary in favour of Ronny.
Speaks like he absolutely despises all the cheating in the modern game.
Murphy's punditry is predictable, non-controversial, sycophantic.
Yeah that’s why I like Lawro, all the build up was focused on Pogba, Greizmann and Mbappe. I liked how lawro focused on how well the Australians were organised and how well drilled they were, that being the main reason the game went how it did. He doesn’t follow the hype surrounding these big players.
Quite like Lawro tbh.....had to switch to the radio for the second half and had the delights of Dion Dublin ....''its one all to the French''

Was always the way.
They're loved now and spoke about in nostalgic terms, but in the 70's and 80's half the football loving public couldn't stand the work of Brian Moore, Barry Davies and John Motson.
I'm still very fond of Lawro. I do admit that I think he's still watching football through the lenses of 10+ years ago, but in some ways that's refreshing, especially when he's calling the French players out for their ridiculous lack of ability to stay on their feet when any contact was made by the Aussies. Some choice quotes from the game were particularly humorous:
"Can you give minus ratings?"
"What was that yelp all about? Dislocated shoelace?"
"He's chasing everything. He'd chase a paper bag in the park in the wind."
As far as pundits go, I'd say Jermaine Jenas is up there as the best atm.
It’s why I like lawro’s commentary it’s cynical and kind of says it how it is. In the France game he moaned about the French diving a lot because it takes away from the football and the tactics. The whole Ronaldo hype just doesn’t really excite me, a last minute winner in a goal mouth scramble is what does it for me. I appreciate he’s a good player and is world class, but him behaving like a child when it doesn’t go his way just puts me off when compared to Messi, Salah and Greizmann. The wink also, the bloody wink.
Appreciate where your coming from ........ but god was that free kick something special.
